S/Y MOMI M80 for Sale: A Carbon Maxi That Blends Race Power with Refined Cruise Life
S/Y MOMI M80 sits in that rare space where a maxi cruiser-racer offers excellent regatta performance and onboard comfort during navigation.
Now for sale through Nautica Imperia Services, this 26-metre Vismara Marine Concept-built vessel offers a clear, well-made answer to what modern yacht owners want: speed, style, and calm time on board.
Launched in 2021, MOMI has a carbon fibre hull with a teak deck. A true blue water cruiser-racer with the feel of a race yacht, yet the ease of a private home at sea.
A Yacht Built to Sail, Not Just Sit At Anchor
MOMI’s edge starts below the waterline. A retractable keel shifts draft from 2.5m to 4m. This gives access to shallow waters and ports, yet holds firm for offshore conditions. The Axxon mast and V-boom, also made of carbon fibre, together with the Millenium cruising and racing sail rig, form a highly performant and innovative system designed to ensure maximum efficiency and durability under all sailing conditions.
Below deck, MOMI’s interiors designed by architect Giacomo Facchini, create an inviting setting with oak wood, white painted bulkheads, and windows bringing in natural light.
She accommodates a total of 10 guests in three luxurious double cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms, and two crew cabins at the stern. The bathrooms feature exclusive details such as shower columns and fittings in golden, copper, or glossy black Corian finishes, depending on the cabin.
There is an LCD TV in salon, Fusion RA770 marine stereo, Hi-Fi with external speakers in the cockpit, air conditioning for the cabins, dinette and galley and two Schenker reverse osmosis watermakers.

Marketing Without Social Media
Is it possible to grow your business without social media? I’m often surprised how many yachting companies don’t have social media pages – as in, no social media accounts at all. If you want to run a successful online business without social media followers, read on.
Social media can be exhausting: scrolling through various feeds, excessive screen time and constant validation for engagement and likes. You can be present on multiple platforms, alongside having to invest time into creating, publishing and monitoring your social media posts. With any marketing strategy you must invest time or money – some of them require both.
Marketing Without Social Media: 6 Questions To Consider Before You Quit Social Media
Before making decisions about quitting social media entirely as a business owner, get clear on your reasons for wanting to quit and what you may miss out on. Here are a few questions to consider:
1.Are you selling a product or service that requires a lot of trust for your ideal customer to actually decide to buy from you? If so, how will you demonstrate your expertise if you’re not active on social media?
2. Do you feel overly dependent on social media? How would you get customers if your social media accounts were blocked today?
3. Where does your target customer spend time online and how do they find your business? Decide if closing one or more social media accounts is a good strategy for saving you time and effort.
4. Do you enjoy making and publishing content on the channels you already use (either personally or professionally)?
5. What would you do with your time to grow your business if you weren’t scrolling on social media?
6. Do you have the resources to stay in business long term if you don’t see immediate results from not using social media as a marketing option? Essentially you need to have other sources of leads outside of social media before you quit or delete all your social media profiles.
8 Ideas For Growing A Business Without Social Media
All of these suggestions gives an opportunity to grow your business without social media and connect with the greater yachting industry and your ideal customer.
-
Your Website & Blogging
Making sure your website is SEO and GEO-friendly is crucial. Social media channels used to send significant web traffic to websites but that has all changed with the rise of artificial intelligence. Adding AEO/SEO blogs can help with visibility online by writing blog posts optimised for AI-enabled search and traditional search engines. One of the biggest benefits of blogging is the longevity of blog content – whereas compared to Instagram Stories your content evaporates in 24 hours. For the best results, you need to post regular blogs to build a library of relevant posts that support the expertise and topics your company talks about the most.
2. Email Marketing
Email marketing or sending out newsletters is a great way to nurture your client base by sharing content and product updates. Whereas social media engagement can vary from 1% to 40% engagement, email open rates can be relatively high in comparison. The pros are that you ‘own’ that database and performance metrics (open rates) are easy to track. Downsides are you need to make newsletters relevant and consistent without being promotional every time.
3. Podcasts
Podcasts are a popular way to build your own audience. You could also be a guest on other people’s podcasts so you’re borrowing their audience and you get the bonus of cross-promotion. Podcasts are great for sharing long-form storytelling that might not be a good fit for traditional media such as print magazines. The cons are that podcasts do take time for editing and distribution. Always make sure you’re a guest on a podcast that is relevant to your business or niche, and either ask for podcast questions in advance or prepare some key points to talk about.
Relevant yachting industry podcasts such as Yachting International Radio can give businesses reach to new audiences.
4. Events : Networking Or Sponsorship
Events are a popular way to grow your reach via networking or sponsorship within the yachting sector. It gives brands the opportunity to present to the guests via in-person speaking opportunities, or talk to people at the event face-to-face. The downsides are that ROI from events is difficult to assess, and events can be challenging to scale without ongoing sponsorship. As well, usually there’s some time and travel costs involved.
Trade shows give plenty of opportunities for networking or sponsorship.
5. Industry Communities
Membership communities are another way to connect with peers, expand your professional circle, find collaborators and reach potential customers. Whether you host regular Zoom meetings or communicate via WhatsApp messaging chats, each community has its own accessibility and group rules. Some communities are run via membership or subscription-based models such as Substack.
6. Creator Partnerships (Beyond Social Media)
Partnering with other creators means you can cross-promote your products, services or expertise. Prospective customers are far more likely to trust your company if they trust someone that recommends you, and it’s a good way to get in front of someone else’s audience. Always tailor your message to the audience and do your due diligence for any creator partnerships.
7. Write A Book or White Paper
A book or white paper can be a long-term asset that builds authority and credibility. However, it’s usually a slow-burn marketing tactic because it can be time intensive to create a draft and get it published – even with the help of AI you still need either great data or a great story. A book or white paper can lead to speaking engagements or partnerships. I am currently co-authoring a book about luxury marketing – stay tuned for that coming in 2026!
8. Referrals From Your Current Network
Remind your family, friends and acquaintances what you do and how they can help you. You might be surprised how many people in your current network are willing to help someone they know – either spreading the word about your business, sharing your website address or referring a legitimate prospect. Likewise, reach out to your professional connections and remind them what you offer and they might refer you to someone who needs your products or services.
Can You Be Successful Without Social Media?
As with all marketing strategies, the best option for your yachting company depends on your budget, target customer, available tools and business goals. Social media is powerful and valuable, there’s no denying that. It has brought me clients and great opportunities for my business. However, many business owners feel they can live without social media and being constantly active on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest or X is not the best use of their time or efforts.
Before you choose to step away from marketing on social media you need to undertake a shift in processes and mindset. Deleting your social media profiles or uninstalling the apps is easy – it’s understanding the flow-on effects afterwards that you need to plan for such as filling your time with other revenue-generating activities or personal hobbies. After all, marketing isn’t just about having a plethora of tools or understanding audience building, it is about being discoverable and having an online presence that works for the growth of your business.
